“Samsung Electronics Co. does not intend to hold talks with Apple Inc. to reach an agreement on their ongoing patent tussle, its mobile business chief said Wednesday, raising views the company will rely on legal means rather than settling the issue out of court,” Yonhap News reports.

“‘It may be true that HTC may have agreed to pay 300 billion won (US$276 million) to Apple, but we don’t intend to (negotiate) at all,’ Shin Jong-kyun, who heads the South Korean tech giant’s mobile and IT division, told reporters,” Yonhap reports. “While the terms of the settlement were undisclosed, market watchers speculate HTC will pay between $6 to $8 per phone, which would amount to $180 million to $280 million a year.”

How can we start from this site a boycott Samsung campaign. What would be the top 3 reasons you would tell someone or put on your bumper sticker ?
It may be time to go into the next phrase of Thermo Nuke War…. Any thoughts?

Ditto with all of the above. I will never buy anything from Samsung again. Their products have not only cheapened, but in my mind, all these trials has shown their true characters. And for that reason, I can no longer buy from a company that is morally bad company, who refuses to admit wrong, and is only interested in saving face and selling crap to customers. Goodbye Samsung.

Don’t fault Samsung for its legal stance. It’s doing what any smart company does when it correctly sees a broken legal system with clueless judges as its license to steal.

I am talking about the nutcake judge in the UK, the sushi judge in Japan, and the kimchi judge in California, not to mention Posner the psychotic judge, among them the kimchi judge is Samsung’s trump card.

Samsung is counting on Koh to annul most if not all jury findings and rewards, and it’s more than likely Koh is going to deliver them with a bow tie to Samsung based on her actions to date.
